Game Balls from the Saints 48-7 plucking of the Eagles

The New Orleans Saints dismantled another opponent on national television. This time they victimized the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, taking them apart in a game that was over well before the 4th quarter, and putting Philadelphia's playoff hopes in serious jeopardy. The Saints outgained the Eagles, 321-109 in total yardage in the first half while taking a 24-7 lead into the break. Touchdowns on their first three possessions of the second half put an exclamation point on this one, as New Orleans piled up 546 yards of total offense, while holding Philadelphia to only 196.
